Proverbs 12:16-22Fools show their annoyance at once,but the prudent overlook an insult.An honest witness tells the truth,but a false witness tells lies.The words of the reckless pierce like swords,but the tongue of the wise brings healing.Truthful lips endure forever,but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,but those who promote peace have joy.No harm overtakes the righteous,but the wicked have their fill of trouble.The Lord detests lying lips,but he delights in people who are trustworthy.

A fool shows their annoyance immediately but an honest prudent person overlooks insults. So much is said in these verses about our tongue and words and truth or lies. Do we plot evil or promote peace? The Lord delights in people who are trustworthy. Can you be trusted? How do you speak to others? Be wise speak truth, peace, love, promote joy! #PromoteJoy
